The Cowboys’ practice squad underwent a shakeup Tuesday. It lost linebacker Jerry Franklin, whom the Chicago Bears added to their active roster Tuesday. Dallas also released tight end Chase Ford as well as cornerback Reggie Jones.

Defensive back Micah Pellerlin, who has yet to play in an NFL game but has had stints with the Indianapolis Colts and Green Bay Packers, was added to the ranks.

The practice squad has been in the throes of change since last week, when the Oakland Raiders grabbed running back Jamize Olawale, linebacker Jerry Brown died in a one-vehicle accident and defensive tackle Rob Callaway received a call-up. Its roster now consists of Pellerin, guard Ron Leary and receivers Tim Benford and Andre Holmes.
